Pros

Higher salary than a typical outside sales role.

Cons

Corporate culture is awful. Outside sales role incorporates a lot of time spent on the phones calling potential clients - very call centre-ish. Management cannot see past the "Staples way" of selling and this technique does not fly with many potential clients. Very metrics driven and use Salesforce to micromanage. This job has the highest turnover rate in entire company.
